Cozy, comfy stay

This is a small and cozy hotel (motel by American standards). Everything was very clean, the staff was very attentive, and the views were excellent. We had a very tasty dinner in the restaurant. The breakfast spread was delicious. There were breads, pastries, meats, eggs, cheeses, juices and an amazing expresso machine. All was included with the room. The location is excellent for exploring some of Iceland’s stunning views. I recommend planning on spending more than one day to explore the region. My only complaint was it was too cloudy to see the Northern Lights… We should have stayed longer!

Great and convenient location for exploring the peninsula. Spacious and comfortable room, smallish bathroom with just one shampoo or body wash but good shower pressure. Good spot to see an aurora if one makes an appearance! They offer food all day, we had the lamb soup with toasted bread which was excellent, but the chicken noodle soup, although filling, was rather tasteless. Friendly and helpful staff.

The room was compact but clean and comfortable. The attached bathroom was petite with a shower stall that was almost next to the sink and no partition or shower curtain so the whole bathroom got wet. Apart from this it was a good stay in a very convenient location in the Snaefellsness peninsula. Thanks to the staff for being so courteous and helpful.

The gentleman at the reception was very polite and took utmost care of the situation. We were very happy as he automatically upgraded us to an apartment as there were some noise complaint from previous guest. As for the apartment, it was clean with stunning scenic views. Overall, we loved our stay.

Great location on peninsula

Nice small motel in good location for peninsula sight seeing. Rooms were comfortable and hotel restaurant had excellent food. Breakfast was included with a great variety of choices. Only down side was door had weight on it and slammed so in evening if resting you may hear your neighbours door as they left but it is otherwise in a quiet and remote area. Would definitely recommend
